🖤 Stay With Me 🧡 (Sasuke X Naruto)

♡ Chapter - 15 ♡

What does it feel like to be loved? Naruto had pondered this question ever since he was a child. There were moments when he thought he had found the answer, but each time, it slipped away. True love doesn't hurt. It doesn't make you feel small or unworthy. It's warm and safe, like a gentle embrace that whispers, "You matter." But for Naruto, love had always been elusive, a dream just out of reach. He just wanted to find peace. 

Naruto was glancing at the gloomy sky. It might rain soon. He just hoped that it doesn't rain right now or he wouldn't be able to eat his food. This is the only place where he can eat his lunch aside from the toilet. Nobody bothers him here. No one comes to the school garden and sits next to the dumpster to eat their lunch except for Naruto.

It was Naruto's fate. Maybe he was born unlucky. He just ruins everything. His life is already a mess. Only if he knew how to stop everything...

Naruto unwrapped the packet of cream bun that he brought from his favorite shop. Sasuke used to buy him cream buns from there. He was super hungry but somehow he couldn't bring himself to eat. His body was shaking because of the pain. Getting beaten up was an everyday thing for Naruto. His chest felt heavy. He felt like throwing up but there was nothing to throw up.

He hated this. Why can't he go back to normal. How can he stop this. His hands were shaking again. This has been happening to him for a few days. It's like he forgot how to move.

" Oh! There you are!~ " Someone's voice was heard from behind.

Naruto flinched at the evil tone. He shoved the bun inside of the package and looked behind him.

" How come you're always alone whenever I see you? "

Jay chucked in a mocking tone. Naruto hated that voice the most but for some reason he couldn't utter a single word. His throat clinched as he tried to say something but nothing came out. It's like he lost his voice or something. He didn't want to show it but his lips trembled with fear.

Jay walked towards him with his half empty juice bottle. Naruto looked away from him and hoped he'd go away after a while. He couldn't deal with this today. He was too mentally  and physically exhausted. He didn't want to defend himself anymore. There was no point. He didn't feel bad, though. He was used to it.

Jay started to feel irritated by just looking at Naruto. He suddenly smashed the glass bottle in front of Naruto out of anger and grabbed Naruto's collar.

" Why don't you reply to me you dumb fuck?! " Jay yelled at Naruto.

"... "

Naruto closed his eyes shut, thinking that Jay would hit him. It wasn't uncommon for Naruto get hurt by Jay everyday. Naruto just hoped that it would be quicker this time.

" Tsk.. Weak.. I don't want to get my hands dirty with your disgusting blood today. " Jay said this and dropped Naruto on the ground.

Naruto looked at him, shocked. He didn't expect that but he was confused as to why Jay didn't hit him today.

Jay was about to leave when Jay's eyes landed on a necklace that Naruto was wearing. It had a pretty moon on it. Jay would say that it was expensive. Jay remembers Aika wanting it before. She said she'd pay any price for it but Jay forgot about it.

" Oh! You didn't tell me that you wear necklaces " Jay said with a smirk.

Naruto's eyes widened as he saw Jay's evil smirk. Jay always makes that expression when he's about to do something very scary. Naruto quickly fixed his collar, hiding the necklace.

" Welp! Look, Naruto, I'll ask you nicely. Give me that necklace and I'll pay you the price of it. " Jay said crouching to Naruto's level, who was sitting on the floor.
